BBC Electric Proms 2008

The Pool with Dave Monks will also see Howard Eliott Payne and his sister Candie Payne perform a unique set at BBC Radio Merseyside to complement performances from acts already announced, Wave Machines and The Maybes with highlights from the BBC Electric Proms in Liverpool.

Keane will introduce their new edgier, harder sound to an intimate crowd in London at KOKO where the three-piece will be joined by extra musicians and a string quartet, while Chaka Khan will take to the stage at legendary London soul and jazz venue Dingwalls for an exclusive intimate performance. Cecil Sharp House, home of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, will be the scene for a stripped down Goldfrapp show accompanied by strings and choir in a unique set built for the one-off performance. Steeleye Span's Maddy Prior will also play Cecil Sharp House alongside friends and collaborators June Tabor and Tim Hart.

More than 60 artists will appear at the BBC Electric Proms 2008 and each performance will aim to create a new music experience. Today's announcement adds to artists already confirmed including The Last Shadow Puppets, The Streets, Nitin Sawhney and Tony Christie. Performers at the BBC Electric Proms are challenged to come up with new and original material or arrangements of their music to reflect the central theme of the festival, that of creating new moments in music. All of this can be accessed either at the venues, watching and listening on the BBC, or by interacting with red button technology and on mobile.
